Lyrics:

I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought down in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
But I can't find my way back, my way anymore
Oh no, I won't be told anymore
That I've been brought back in this storm
And left so far out from the shore
Oh, that I can't find my way back, my way anymore
Oh, I, I
Forgive them that tear down my soul
Bless them that they might grow old
And free them so that they may know
That it's never too late
For the many times what seemed like a memory
I've searched and found the ways you used to lure me in
Oh, I found the ways, oh, why it had to be
My'd own denial and so afraid
If we ever find it's true
That we have a strength to choose
Oh, freed of all the chains
We have together
I'm gonna tell you a story
Stand up for righteousness
Eh, what
Stand up for justice
Eh, what
Stand up for truth
How can a person grow up with all this around them?
You gotta call on that something
Where does it come from?
That can make a way out of no way
All this hatred
What we've got here is
That power that can make a way out of no way
Failure to communicate
I tell you I've seen the lightning flash
I've heard the thunder roar
Everybody's actin' that we can do anything
And it don't matter what we do
Maybe we gotta be extra careful
Because maybe it matters more that we even know
Sometimes
Hatred isn't something you're born with
I feel discouraged
It gets taught
Sometimes I feel discouraged
I felt this fear
He promised never to leave me, never to leave me alone
No, never alone, no, never alone
Let's get sometin' straight alright
He promised never to leave me
This whole thing is fucked up
Never to leave me alone
Well, all men betray, all lose heart
I don't wanna lose heart! I wanna believe!
Black men and white men together at the table of brotherhood
I have a dream
Free at last, free at last
Thank God almighty
We are free at last
Oh, I won't be told anymore (if we ever find it's true)
That I've been brought down in this storm (that we have the strength to choose)
And left so far out from the shore (oh, freed of all the chains)
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
Oh no, I won't be told anymore (if we ever find it's true)
That I've been brought down in this storm (that we have the strength to choose)
And left so far out from the shore (oh, freed of all the chains)
That I can't find my way back, my way anymore
